    Given the block width and rear lane access I'd like to see 4 undercover car spots allocated for workers, there is enough pressure on parking on the street. On that point, I'd recommend 2x spots directly out the street front 15minute parking 7-9am and 4-6pm.

    Can we please make a front safety fence that fits the heritage and front facade (a pool fence will be an eyesore)

    I'd like to see acoustic measures on windows, doors and insulation given proximity to flight path and kids sleeping and playing through the day.

    The signage needs to more appealing yet conspicuous, hanging from front balcony for example?

    Waste removal is guaranteed to be above councils committed bins?

    Can we ensure the rear lane is not used as a drop off or entry points for parents and kids with potential for 'no standing zones' for example? It's too narrow to navigate past cars parked

    The Traffic Report states that "Parents dropping off and picking up their children will need to rely on public parking".

    This is a facile statement that does not reflect the reality: There is a high rate of double-parking by parents around schools and childcare facilities*. The report fails to mention what steps the applicant will take to mitigate this.

    Traffic congestion on Frampton Avenue has already been increased by the introduction of 90-degree rear-to-kerb parking, and will be further stressed by parents ignoring the nearby council car parks.

    Introducing "15 minute" or "5 minute" parks outside the facility would put further strain on local parking congestion, and given existing restrictions are not adequately enforced, this would be a nominal concession at best.

    Council's rangers are already overburdened, and I don't see that there are (or should be) sufficient council resources to ensure that parents will conform with the applicant's hopes and desires for orderly conduct.

    Finally, I believe the traffic report may have been taken on a particularly quiet day; parking is far more difficult to find at that time of the morning than they would have you believe.

    For this reason I would ask that the application be rejected, until such time as they can provide adequate drop-off facilities. Perhaps the on-site parking should be replaced with a drop-off zone at the rear?

    kind regards,

    Matt Johnson

    * Along with a wide variety of traffic infringements, as I'm sure the Council's enforcement officers are aware
